Home Button Compromised - Warranty Exchange?

I purchased my iPhone 5 when it came out. I obviously am still under warranty.

My home hasn't stopped working but it is obvious that it is compromised. Meaning it's just a matter of time that it will stop working. I've had this happen once before and I can tell that this is exactly what is happening now. The depression is just significantly lower and there have been times where I've had to push it 2-3 times to pop up the screen.

Is it worth going to Apple to see about a replacement before I'm out of warranty? Or is it a fruitless effort knowing they'll tell me: Sorry it's still working.

Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

It is much easier to simply call Apple up and have them ship you a replacement phone. Too many times the geniuses do not replace phones with that problem. The support over the phone is much better.
